Increasing competitiveness and supporting industrial development of the region is the direct underlying assumption of eight of the eleven targets of SEE 2020 Strategy. Most of the interventions under this flagship therefore focus on strengthening the region’s industrial base, encouraging creation and growth of enterprises, improving conditions for investment, enhancing the region’s innovation performance and increasing its share of international trade. Other interventions aim at establishing the conditions that maximise SEE’s attractiveness as a destination for new investment, as well as raise productivity through greater openness to talent, capital and innovation.
